{Merry Christmas} and Happy Holidays!

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year!  I know...they are all great, but this year was especially fun!  Camden really understood what Christmas is all about (both Jesus being born and the Santa part).  We also did some charity work where Camden had a hand in it ~ which he loved!  Bexley, of course doesn't understand Christmas yet, but loved opening presents...and was pretty good at it!  Scott and I agreed that next year we are going to give Bexley all of Camden's gifts and vice versa!  They seemed to play with each others toys more than what was given to them!  Santa was even good to me!  Being from Iowa, I love a white Christmas and Santa made sure we got one!  Camden thought he was so cool driving his new 4-Wheeler in the snow and Bexley loved playing in it.  After the snow had accumulated more, Camden and I made a snowman and snow angels!  We had dinner and presents over at Kimberly and Nathan's house on Christmas Eve ~ awesome, but ate WAY TOO MUCH!  And we are sure to hear the story about the chicken's butt exploding every year for the next 5 years!  ;) 

{Happy Holidays} Week 2

Not exactly a Holiday Cheer weekend.  We found out this weekend Scott's Grandmother's Husband, Kelly had passed away.  I think everyone is doing well.  We all tried to give Ruby a little Christmas Cheer on Saturday by celebrating her Christmas with her!  It's makes her happiest when her children, grand kids, and great grand kids are around!  Even though we were all together for Kelly's passing, we had great conversation, lots of hugs and shared wonderful memories!  We will miss you TONS Kelly!

{Happy Holidays} Week 1

Whew!  What a busy weekend!  3 more weekends to go like that until Christmas!  We went downtown on Friday for the tree lighting, carolers, ice stating, and to see Santa!  It really got us into holiday mode when we heard the live Christmas music and all of the holiday cheer!  On Saturday we had Camden's 1st basketball game and then went downtown again to the Christmas Parade.  It was great!  We really enjoy the parade because Greensboro has the big balloons like the Macy's Day one.  This year it snowed while we were watching it!  What a fun surprise and bonus!!!  I can't believe we got snow before my parents did in IOWA!  How crazy!  We then went to the Beck Christmas for dinner and of course ate WAY too much!  On Sunday, we went to pick up Scott & I's Christmas present in Charlotte, then shopped til we dropped!  I'm sure the kids are ready to be back on their schedules...well until next weekend!!!
